Abstract: We consider the nonlinear heat equation $u_t-Deltau=|u{|}^{a}lphau$ on ${mathbbR}^N$, where $alpha>0$ and $Nge1$. We prove that in the range $0<alpha<frac4N-2$, for every $mu>0$, there exist infinitely many sign-changing, self-similar solutions to the Cauchy problem with initial value $u_0(x)=mu|x{|}^{-frac2alpha}$. The construction is based on the analysis of the related inverted profile equation. In particular, we construct (sign-changing) self-similar solutions for positive initial values for which it is known that there does not exist any local, nonnegative solution.
